[NYDAILYNEWS] Takes about 30 seconds to cut through a chain with bolt cutters. As I recall from the movie Mad Max, it takes less time to use the bolt cutters to cut through a limb...

Protester sucker punched during Donald Trump rally in ‘physical pain'
Is it just me, or
(a) he don't actually have any marks on his face?
(b) the guy allegedly punching him is black?
[An Nahar] Fracking is set to lead to a sharp rise in emissions of climate changing greenhouse gases, newly undermining industry and government claims that shale gas is a relatively clean fuel that can help combat global warming, an authoritative new study reveals.
On Thursday, the United States and Canada agreed to cut methane emissions from the oil and gas industry by almost half.
The new study strikes another blow at the strategy of both the US and British governments to rely on shale gas as a relatively clean "bridge" from dirty fossil fuels to non-polluting renewable sources such as the sun, winds, waves and tides.
Their policies are based on the fact that gas emits only half as much carbon dioxide as coal when it is burned -- but do not take into account the leakage of methane and other greenhouse gases during the process. When these are added in, studies show, shale gas can create even more pollution than coal.
The new study -- led by a former director of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Civil Enforcement, who now heads the Environmental Integrity Project -- focuses on emissions from industrial developments spurred by development of fracking fuel.
How do we know the EPA report wasn't written by the Natural Resources Defense Fund?
Or the Sierra Fund. Meh. More CO2 in the atmosphere means more plant growth sucking it up. Result: more food for the population, decreased desertification, and a return to the normal range. It's one of those self-regulating systems thingies, donchaknow

not an epa report
and it didn't say what Al Hahar said,
the report was more indirect - it said that petrochemical plants using natural gas from fracking would emit carbon ---- well duh.

I'll take the Greenies seriously when they acknowledge the success of GW Bush's global program to reduce methane emissions, which Obama canned. It did more to reduce GHG emissions than all the solar panels on the planet. And vastly cheaper of course.

but do not take into account the leakage of methane and other greenhouse gases during the process. When these are added in, studies show, shale gas can create even more pollution than coal.
Leakage? Did they drill holes in the supply line so the 'methane and other greenhouse gases' would leak out? Leakage can be managed fairly easily. Yes - I'm serious - these are the same types of people who would 'adjust' temperature data to reflect their preferred conclusion or deliberately place senors and measuring equipment in the center of asphalt parking lots and outside of air-conditioning units in order to 'measure' higher temperatures. Drilling holes is not a stretch and of course if you drill enough holes it 'can create even more pollution than coal.'
I'll take them seriously as a serious threat to the country's economic well being and our freedoms.

Methane emissions from the oil and gas industry can be eliminated mechanically.
Global warming can never be eliminated by either mechanical or any other means known to man.
It is not the oil companies that pollute the environment. They only extract and refine the products that the public demands.
It is the PEOPLE who demand, buy, and BURN the fuel that pollutes the environment.
#9
In coming decades "fracking" will be deemed by the UN OWG as a "Crime agz the Planet/Humanity" despite its utility in finding out new reservoirs of oil-gas, espec from depleted or difficult fields.
Which begs the Maha-Rushian Questionne' - WHAT TECH(S) WILL BE DEV AS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE(S) TO "FRACKING" AFTER TEAR 0250???
[CAPSIZED USN BB USS"OKLAHOMA" = "FRACK-QUAKED" US STATE OF OKLAHOMA here].
#11
As Glenn Reynolds often says, I'll believe that global warming is a crisis when people who tell me it's a crisis start acting (and living) like it's a crisis.
Instead of flying around the world in private jets to Bali to attend a conference they could easily do via teleconferencing.
Instead of living in huge houses.
Instead of being driven around in huge limousines.

Our first bling president. [CA.NEWS.YAHOO] The mansion in Havana where U.S. President Barack Obama and his family will spend two nights has survived war, revolution and an Albanian occupation.
Now, with U.S.-Cuban diplomatic ties restored and overall relations warming, the U.S. ambassadorial residence is re-emerging as a center of influence on the Communist-ruled island.
Built from 1939 to 1942, the two-story building is more than half the size of the White House, according to U.S. State Department data, and was constructed with the finest materials and craftsmanship of the time.
The United States abandoned it from 1961 to 1977 after the 1959 Cuban revolution overthrew a pro-American government and Washington severed ties with Fidel Castro, leaving the home to at first Albanian and later Swiss caretakers.

John Kasich: I'd consider nominating Merrick Garland to Supreme Court.
Almost as stupid as Donald Trump badmouthing Mitt Romney in Utah, Idaho, and Arizona.
The Y2 Analytics survey [Salt Lake Tribune March 19, 2016] shows Cruz with 53% support among likely Republican voters.
Coming in second is John Kasich with 29%, while Trump was a distant third at 11%.
If Cruz gets above the 50% threshold he'll win all of the state's 40 GOP delegates.
Ted Cruz has already wrapped up all but 2 of 29 possible delegates in Idaho.
Kasich has 1 Idaho delegate. Marco Rubio still holds 1 delegate. Trump won 0 delegates in Idaho. 15 more Idaho delegates will be awarded at the Republican Convention, but with 67% of the vote they will go to Cruz.
Arizona is still a toss up ?
There are no published polls done in Arizona since Marco Rubio dropped out of the race.
The winner of Tuesday's Arizona primary, in the winner-take-all state, will get all 58 of its delegates.
At this point it appears that the winner in Arizona will depend on the number of votes Kasich takes away from either Trump or Cruz.
A major gaffe by Kasich could be decisive not only in Arizona but other states on down the road.

someone (Ace?) said Kasich's face looks like it was left in the pocket of a pair of jeans that went through the washing machine. His smarmy sanctimonious "I'm the adult" shit doesn't work for me

Never like his tired, 'and there I was in Ohio' line. Still don't.
PHOENIX -- Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders ripped into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio at a rally in northern Arizona on Thursday, after facing criticism from the Clinton campaign for an encounter Sanders' wife had with the immigration-hardliner sheriff.
The U.S. senator from Vermont said Arpaio’s arrests of undocumented immigrants, often separating families, were "outrageous and unconscionable."
"It's easy for bullies like Sheriff Arpaio to pick on people who have no power," Sanders said. "If I am elected president -- the president of the United States does have power. So watch out, Joe." The "Little" woman gave old Bernie a mojo challenge?
Sweet old Uncle Bernie, ready to throw the full weight of the federal government against a little county sheriff who said something to his wife.
[THEHILL] Sen. John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... (R-Ariz.) is facing what may be the toughest reelection of his Senate career in an unpredictable presidential year, when many voters are angry with Washington. Golly. He's such a lovable maverick, I'm surprised the Dems are running anybody against him.
Early polls show McCain tied with his Democratic challenger, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), at around 40 percent despite having nearly 100-percent name recognition in the state he has represented in either the Senate or House since 1983.
It looks like Arizona's primary is August 30, 2016. Is nobody running against him for the Republican spot?
“The basic problem for John McCain is the same kind of thing that faces a lot of incumbents right now. He’s been there a long time. People are leery of Washington. They don’t like Washington,” said former Republican Rep. Jim Kolbe, who served 18 years alongside McCain in Arizona’s congressional delegation.

[THEAMERICANMIRROR] Leftists are escalating their violent tactics against Republican front runner Donald Trump by beheading a Trump effigy look-alike in the streets of Salt Lake City.
Nicole Vowell of KSL 5 tweeted several videos of protesters standing on the steps of city hall on Friday.
In one, a man says, “I don’t like anything about Trump,” before taking a stick and beheading the effigy hung by a noose.

Ah...the civility of the Left.
[Remember when they demanded it of others. One set of rules for thee, another set of rules for me.]
#2
The Left is like that. If you can't win an argument, then get some way to shut the other side up and don't allow them to speak. Free speech should be Banned according to Alinsky.
Block the highway and throw trash cans into traffic. That should work. Like I say, the Lefties are like that. PC is the motto. And stale old Republicans who like the PC stuff are terrified of all the populists they can't control. Get rid of the PC shirts... Trump just might. He's worth a shot, let him have a go at the suits and the bogus look after themselves politicians like Romney.
#3
The pattern's established already. Nobody's gonna do anything about it until sometime around November 7th or 8th.
Until the "hire a mob" discovers in a state with concealed carry what happens when you threaten someone. Can you say 1860 people. The rude awaking for the SJW will be how few will actually show up on their side versus the other.

This has gotten to the point where my wife has asked me to get a CC permit and a gun. I've wanted one for 30 years but she was always uncomfortable with it and it wasn't that big a deal.
Now it is. I want her to do so too, but that may not be in the cards.
#6
Could very well be what they want. Remember, according to the media, *all* violence is Trump's fault. If a protester slaughter's 30 Trump supporters in a fit - it'll be Trump's fault because he told his followers to defend themselves if attacked.
#10
The technique -- pulling their trucks across a busy highway to block it -- is one of my nightmare terror scenarios.
Anyone else remember the guy who had to pull his pistol and cellphone when the Ferguson rioters surrounded his car? We will see that happen again, and I will be shocked if it doesn't end with shots fired.
